Man of the House is a 1995 comedy film starring Chevy Chase, Farrah Fawcett, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Zachary Browne and George Wendt (of Cheers fame). Marking Thomas' motion picture debut, this Disney comedy is about a boy (Thomas) who must come to terms with his potential stepfather (Chase), a well-meaning lawyer who is unknowingly the subject of a manhunt by relatives of a man he helped land in prison.

Ben Archer is not happy. His mother, Sandy, has just met a man, and it looks like things are pretty serious. Driven by a fear of abandonment (due to his own father abandoning both of them when he was younger), Ben tries anything and everything to ruin the "love bubble" which surrounds his mom. However, after Ben and Jack's experiences in the Indian Guides, the two become much closer.
